At dinner every night, each of us would share what we learned that day - most of it came from the World Book! Purchasing them is like buying a car - the price will change with everyone you talk to and the deals will keep getting better! Like you – I was raised with the Encyclopedia and I loved it!

Anyone can write a wiki entry. So, I may hit wiki for something quick for my personal use but I would never rely on it for professional work. Print sources have their bias and quality issues as well, but at least you know who published it. Knowing the source can make it easier to evaluate the author's credibility, determine the veracity of the content and figure out what aspects of the article may be biased. Stay safe, JB.
